A TUESDAY FEATURE

HUMOUR IN UNIFORM
School and schooling is fun. There is nothing more entertaining than the pranks of children and their activities in the school campus. We even have research to prove that humor creates a good rapport between teachers and students. The students also enjoy learning from those teachers. We need to become a child to understand children better.
I want you to become kids again. I want you to feel like children and write down a haiku or a senryu about what you were doing at school as a carefree kid. Or you might even be a teacher who had observed humorous situations in the classroom involving your students.
Here's one for your reading pleasure:

the enticing smell
of homework
*In the 60's teachers used a mimeograph machine to print our homework sheets. The ink had the most wonderfully addictive smell!
